ichiro18I hadn't had Tokushima sake yet, so I bought some at an antenna store in Yurakucho when I went to Ginza last week 😀.
It's safe to say that the first time you drink a brand you've never tried before, you can try it out in a single bottle 😁.
The aroma is subtle but apple ✨.
It has a refreshing taste. The gentle sweetness is followed by a full flavor! The acidity is refreshing and delicious 😍.
I would drink this sake again if I could find it 😊. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, ichiro18 😃.
Congratulations on your first Tokushima sake ㊗️ 🎉Our first Tokushima was also Naruto sea bream in a single bottle 🤗.
Then we only had one more bottle 😅Tokushima sake is not so common 🥲. ichiro18Hi Jay & Nobby😃.
Thank you 😊
I've found a store that specializes in single-batch bottles, so I'll be looking for some more. I found a store that specializes in one-bottle bottles, so I'll look around next time 😅I certainly don't see them in Tokushima, even though they're delicious! もーちゃんLight, with a hint of sweetness 🍶.
Tokushima's local sake is hard to find 😙. N.E.

Souvenirs from Yurakucho (1)
Tokushima "Hisagotaikou" Junmai-shu (pure rice sake) 🍶.
Tokushima's famous sweets "Saoshika" 🦌.
I wanted to match Japanese sweets with sake... â
I was attracted by the name and 80% polished rice of "Kodou".
I bought "Saoshika" because it arrived on Saturday and I felt a connection with it.
The aroma was like ripe bananas!
The taste is rich with a complex combination of acidity and graininess, as some of the malted rice is white!
The pattern is like Bambi!
Awa wasanbon sugar and azuki beans give this steamed confectionery a gentle sweetness.
It is chewier than sponge cake due to the inclusion of yams!
I enjoyed the contrast between the rich sake and the gentle wagashi ✨.
A bonus!
I thought this sake would go well with mackerel simmered in miso, so I cracked open the can! It supported the mackerel flavor beautifully 😋.
-----------------
I have been to Shikoku only once on a graduation trip (traveling alone).
I took a boat from Wakayama to Tokushima, then went to Kochi, Ehime, and Kagawa on a Seishun 18 ticket 🚃.
My memory of Tokushima is the Bizan ropeway in the rain 😊I would go to the sake brewery now 😁. 阿佐波Good morning, Aaru Sake! I am so moved by your Tokushima episode from this morning😍When we have a little Oga at home, my kids are so excited to have a guest. I have a memory of my grandfather's Hyoho Taikoo. If you come to Tokushima, be sure to visit Matsuura Sake Brewery for Naruto sea bream ❣️. あーる酒Hi Asanami!
Wow, I'm so relieved to hear your memories of Little Oga😊🦌🦌I just noticed the love for your hometown in your name, Asanami-san!
I was torn between a pop bottle of Naruto sea bream and a bottle of Hyoutaiko, which I had never had 🥰🥰. BEATI love drinking alcohol with sweets. 😆👍I don't get a chance to visit Tokushima from Ehime. I'll look for it when I get there ✨ あーる酒Good evening, BEAT 🌙
BEAT's post was the reason I wanted to try combining sweet and alcoholic drinks 😀.
I bought a half pole 🦌 and I was goofing on counting by the pole 😆💕. mamikoGood morning, Mr. Aaru Sake!
The names of both sake and wagashi are difficult to read 〰︎😃 but I like the way they seem to fit together lol.
I like the combination of sweets & sake too 😆♪ あーる酒Hi mamiko ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I couldn't read 己道🍶 nor 小男鹿🦌 😅 It's fun to try to combine alcohol with sweets ♫ 
ジェイ&ノビィWe left Shimbashi where Ehime Pavilion was located and walked to Yurakucho area where many antenna stores are clustered.
On the way there, I found the Okinawa Pavilion and went inside for Reimei. I asked the guy at the store, "Do you have any sake?" I asked the shopkeeper, "Do you have any Sake?
I went down to the basement in search of a small bottle, but what I found was a bottle of sake as shown in the second picture.
I gave up this time because I thought it would be too hard to find... Well, if fate has a plan, we will meet again.
After that, we moved to the Osaka Pavilion, which for some reason was not filled, but there was only one bottle of sake whose name we did not know, so we did not go through there either, thinking that we would encounter it someday in Osaka.
Finally, we moved on to the Tokushima/Kagawa Tomoni Market. I thought that Tokushima might be Miyoshigiku, but they did not sell it, so I got Naruto Tai, which was my second choice👍.
It is 100% Tokushima rice. I was told that this one is best served cold, so I had it in a glass (I looked it up on the internet beforehand because of the Ishizuchi thing).
It has a sweet aroma, but it has a sourness that is clean and elegant 😊. ジェイ&ノビィThat was my tour of Tokyo antenna stores. My legs were tired from walking on the asphalt in the city, so I took the Shinkansen back home. The bullet train was so fast and easy! ジェイ&ノビィNow there are only three prefectures left to conquer: Okinawa, Osaka, and Tottori.
I think I can get to Osaka with Akishika and Tottori with Chiyomusubi or Hiokizakura, but I wonder if I am destined to meet Okinawa...
The End マナチーJay & Nobby, good evening......as long as we can manage to get to Okinawa 😆👍......I think they have Aki-Deer somewhere in Tochigi......where is it 😂? ぴろさんJay & Nobby, in Tottori Prefecture, you can go to your local liquor store and they have Takayuu, so you can get it there...lol!
As for Osaka, I bought my Aki-shika online... ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Mr. Manachie 😃.
You have to aim for Okinawa 😆.
I see you have fall deer 😳 I have to go look for them👍. ジェイ&ノビィHi Piro, good evening 😃.
You told me about this last time 😊 I'll go to your neighborhood 👍 I hope they don't sell fall deer normally. 3KAN4ONGood evening, Jay & Nobby 🌇.
I don't see any Shigou bottles in the Okinawan antenna stores right now 😰.
I know a store that always has a bottle, but I don't have the courage to buy one 🥰. ポンちゃんGood evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙.
Only 3 prefectures left! That's amazing⤴️⤴️I guess we'll have to travel to Okinawa😅. ぴろさんJay, I haven't seen any fall deer for sale in the prefecture...
If you do see it, please let me know! LOL! Rafa papaGood morning Jay & Nobby 😃.
I see you don't sell much Akirika 😅Sad for you Osaka residents 😭It's a sake that could be more popular... 🥲.
A bottle of Reimei is pretty bad 🤣️. ジェイ&ノビィ3KAN4ON, I'm with you 😃.
Maybe they didn't have it by chance 😅 but a bottle is hard to find 😫. ジェイ&ノビィHi Pon 😃
We packed all at once on our Tokyo expedition 😆.
Okinawa 🤔 but neither of us have been there before so it would be nice to go there 😊. ジェイ&ノビィHi Piro, I'm with you 😃.
Oh, I see 😫 I'll have to go look outside the province 🥲. ジェイ&ノビィHi Rafa papa 😃
My late mother was from Osaka, but I haven't been to Osaka for a while 🤔 I wish I could go to Osaka. Rafa papaPlease come to Osaka 😆 Kansai offline meeting is coming up 👍️‼️. ハリーHi Jay & Nobby 😃
I've been to the antenna stores before, I've been to Okinawa too, but it's the same, I used to go through the four-packs of bottles, but when it came time to buy them, 😅.
I'll wait and see 😊. tomoさんHi Jay & Nobby😊.
Sounds like a fun visit to the antenna store. I have Miyazaki and Okinawa left, so I was planning to get Reimei at the antenna store in Ginza, but I hope they have a small bottle 😳😅. ジェイ&ノビィRafa papa, I want to go 🥹.
Kansai offline meeting is good 👍 ジェイ&ノビィGood evening Harry Sakeboy 😃
Oh, I see 😊 something about Okinawa is good to have a drink or something at one of the restaurants 🤔. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening tomo 🤔.
I enjoyed the store visit for sake 😆 Reimei is a small bottle at best 😅.

We hope you will add it to your regular sake lineup ❗️.
We want it to go well with fusion Japanese food and
I want you to match it with fusion Japanese food, oil and cream western food 😊.
I'm sure it's more than a white wine ❗️.

I understand the dense antenna store at Yurakucho Kotsu Kaikan, Jizake Paradise❗️.
Antenna stores in nearby Kochi and Yamagata.
I know about the antenna shops in Kochi and Yamagata in the suburbs, as well as Imadeya and Vinos Yamasaki in Ginza Six.
阿佐波Good evening, Mr. Hiraccio 🌇.
Thank you for your comment 😊.
Looking at it this way
Ginza Sake Parlor tour 🍶 sounds like a lot of fun 🌈
I'm really interested in the Vinos Yamasaki tasting bar! I'll be there! mamikoHello, Asanami-san!
I see you are next door to my hometown Akita~! (๑˃˃˃)
I haven't been to the antenna store for a while, so I want to go there for the first time in a while. 阿佐波Hi mamiko! Thank you very much 😊I see you are from a sake brewery😄The sake shelf at the Akita store was very well stocked! I bought some iburi-gakko (pickled squid) 😋It's so delicious 🐟 Please stop by Shikoku too 🐟. 
Kumakichi🌸Celebrate 🌸the conquest of the 47 prefectures!
I started Sake-no-wa at the end of 2020, and in a little over a year, I've checked in 300 times, and this time I've conquered all the prefectures!
The last one is a one-cup of Gotenzakura doburoku from Tokushima Prefecture.
Tokushima's sake is rarely seen in Tokyo, so I got it at an antenna store in Ginza, and it was a cup of doburoku.
The low-alcoholic doburoku, which still had the shape of rice, had a sweet taste of rice in the aroma and mouthfeel, but it was a bottle with a clean and crisp taste!
Rice polishing ratio: Undisclosed
Alcohol content: 12%.
えりりんkumakichi, congrats on your decision!
Congratulations on winning the national championship ㊗️🎉.
It's not easy 💦.
I'll try my best to conquer the country without getting popped 😁. ハリーKumakichi, congratulations 🎉㊗️ for winning the national championship 😊, you were fast at the end 😀, I'm one step closer myself, I'll get there eventually 😊. KumakichiErin, good evening! It was a good experience for me, although my favorite sake is not available all over the country, so it was not a good fit. I relied on the antenna store, but I would like to continue to enjoy sake from all over the country. KumakichiHarry Sakeboy Good evening! I think I enjoyed the excellent sake from all over the country, although I had to resort to the antenna store at the end of the day for one color. I will continue to refer to your post for sake recommendations. マナチーCongratulations Kumakichi on winning the national championship ㊗️.
Especially Okinawa and Miyazaki are tough 😭
I'm having trouble filling Miyazaki 🤣.
Let's keep drinking lots of good sake 😆. KumakichiHello, Manachie! Thank you for your message. I couldn't quite fill Miyazaki and Tokushima, so I came to the antenna stores in Shinjuku and Ginza. If I could, I would have visited a local izakaya if it was nearby. あやI bought it at an antenna shop in Tokushima.
It was not so sweet as I was worried.
But it's not my favorite. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
